We are hosting a new event, at locations worldwide: Google Developer Day 2007.

Google Developer Day will take place at Google offices and offsite locations in Mountain View, Sao Paulo, Madrid, London, Paris, Hamburg, Moscow, Beijing, Tokyo and Sydney. The proceedings will begin in Sydney on May 31, 9 a.m. AEST and end 27 hours later in Mountain View on May 31, 7 p.m. PDT.

Google engineers and product experts at each location will lead sessions in topic areas such as, "Developing with Geo: Google Maps, Google Earth and SketchUp," "Tools for Better Web Development: The Google Web Toolkit, Open Source and Other Developer Initiatives" and "Mashups and More: AJAX, Google Gadgets and the Google Data APIs."

Confirmed presenters include:

• Guido Van Rossum, Google software engineer and creator of the Python programming language (Beijing)
• Chris DiBona, Google open source programs manager (London)
• Mark Stahl, Google data APIs tech lead (Madrid)
• Bruce Johnson and Joel Webber, co-creators of the Google Web Toolkit (Mountain View)
• Bret Taylor, group product manager for Google developer products (Mountain View)
• Lars Rasmussen, Google Maps senior engineer (Sydney)
• Greg Stein, Google engineering manager and chairman of the Apache Software Foundation (Tokyo).

It is going to be a really fun event, and I am lucky to be involved. Getting the community together like this will be a real learning experience. I look forward to meeting users of the APIs and services, and find out what they like, don't like, and need.
